Well finally managed to make a start on the rallye over the weekend. Got the head off and found a mountain of other things that needs sorting, in true peugeot form. Big thanks to my bro for his help so far.Before we started, as you can see, all the staining from the coolent pressuring up past the rad cap  Then with the manifold off  Can see in the left most cylinder where the water had been passing the gasket, always good to confirm the failure.   From the colour of the valves it looks as tho water has been getting in the 1st 2 cylinders. We had real issues getting on of the sparkplugs out.    We had planned to leave the manifold in place but found a few cracks in it thats going to need welding up this week.     Finally, the head all ready for sending off to be tested and skimmed. The list so far is, Head sending off for testing and skimming Weld up manifold New gaskets all round New top mount and buffers New Powersteering ram Waterpump Thermostat Head studs Cambelt kit/pulleys Fan belt Full service. Its an expensive week lol. ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

quote: Always thinking of the handling owning a rallye! Meh!  It has to be accelerated/decelerated and gives the tyres more work to do on cornering too though. Not something thats really needed on a track car is it? Or does the owner like to get all Dukes of Hazzard over hump-back bridges? Can't you put a load of swaged holes in it, just to keep me happy?  ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies. I sell new and used welding equipment in the Hampshire area.

something like that, I do like a good blast out on the b roads, thats for sure.It actually stiffens up the front a hell of a lot, but you've got me thinking now, might get it on the scales tonight and weigh it. haha ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

Well the rallye is back on the road and it feels so good to have it back running right again.Once again, big thanks to my Brother for all his help, satruday was a long day putting it all back together. The block cleaned up  The Head back from the engineers    Head gasket on  So much easier with the use of a ramp  The head on and torqued down  Plugs, coilpacks and exhaust back on  Manifold and everything back on  Finally, the new sump guard on  All in all its had Head tested and skimmed All new head related gaskets New super 4 spark plugs New top engine mount and new chocks made up. Exhaust manifold welded up New sumpguard with additional strengthened sections Full service, oil, water and filters Cambelt, pulleys, tensioners Waterpump Fan belt Thermostat Probably more but cant remember. ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

Good to see this back on the road how hard is it to get the head off with the engine still in the engine bay? would have thought the exhaust manifold would be a right f*ck on to take off? ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

we left the manifold in place, was ok to get off, but then I found the cracks on it so it had to come off, that was harder than removing the head as its a right bugger to get in/out of that space lol.________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

well it managed 2 days /140 miles before I started getting a knock, so its been parked up waiting investigation.Managed to get it back on the ramps last night and its spun a bearing. Looks like all the hard work is gonna have to be done again, this time with a bottom end rebuild. luckily I heard the knocking straight away and the car didnt do more than about 3 or 4 miles at low revs. There isnt too much in the way of damage to the crank or cups, very little marking, waiting to see if you have any tolerences in the shells. Measured 50mm on the crank and 49.9mm on the one that spun, the cups where all the same. But the way my luck has been Im not expecting it to be that easy. ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

Well thinking now it all may as well be done. Going to get new oil pump, new big/small end bearings, new main bearings, crank re-grind, looking at one of Rich's flywheels and a new clutch while Im at it as well.________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |
